Snap Stock (SNAP) News and Forecast for Dec. 18, 2025: Shares Hold Near $7.50 as Snapchat Launches Quick Cut and Analysts Stay Cautious

Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) is starting December 18, 2025 with its stock hovering around the mid-$7 range after a second straight day of gains—an eye-catching move because it came on a broadly negative session for U.S. equities. On Wednesday (Dec. 17), SNAP closed at $7.50, up 1.76%, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 1.81%. MarketWatch Today’s setup for Snap investors is a familiar mix of “green shoots” and “here be dragons”: new in-app creator tools designed to drive engagement, steady progress in subscriptions and performance ads, and continued Wall Street skepticism reflected in mostly “Hold” ratings—even as many price targets sit

Accenture Beats Q1 Revenue Forecast as AI Bookings Hit $2.2 Billion; Standalone AI Reporting to End

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2025 — Accenture’s latest earnings report offered a clear message to investors tracking the consulting giant’s pivot to artificial intelligence: AI-fueled demand is landing bigger deals and lifting revenue, but the company is also preparing the market for a new reality where “AI work” is no longer a separate category. Accenture reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $18.74 billion, topping analyst expectations and landing at the top end of management’s guidance range for the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2025. The beat was supported by strong new bookings—a forward-looking indicator for future revenue—and accelerating advanced AI activity.

Updated: 5:00 AM EST (10:00 GMT), Thursday, December 18, 2025 Global equities are starting December 18 on an uneasy footing, with investors reassessing the durability of the AI-fueled rally just as a dense run of central bank decisions and a closely watched U.S. inflation report approach.
